Tutorial Introduction

The tutorial is designed to introduce you to some of Grapher's basic features and should
about an hour to complete. After you have completed the tutorial, you
will have the skills needed to begin creating your own graphs with your
own data. The lessons should be completed in order; however, they
do not need to be completed in one session.

Tutorial Overview

The following is an overview of lessons included in the tutorial.

Starting
Grapher shows you how to begin a new Grapher
session and open a new plot window.

Lesson 8
- Working
with the Script Recorder shows you how to use the Script Recorder with the techniques
in the previous lessons and adds a few new items. This is an optional
advanced lesson. Because other features are covered in this advanced
lesson, it is highly encouraged that you complete Lesson
8, even if you do not wish to use the script recorder.

Advanced Tutorial Lessons

The help file includes three advanced tutorial lessons. The advanced
tutorial lessons demonstrate the features of the graph magnifier and inset
zoom and demonstrates how move a plot to a different graph. These lessons
are not included in the Quick Start Guide.

A Note About the Documentation

Various font styles are used throughout the Grapher
quick start guide and online help. Bold
text indicates command names, dialog names, and page names. Italic
text indicates items within a dialog such as section or group names, options,
and property names. For example, the Save
As dialog contains a Save as
type list. Bold and italic text occasionally may be used for emphasis.

In addition, commands appear as Home
| Clipboard | Copy. This means, "click or scroll to the Home tab at the top of the document,
then click the Copy command in
the Clipboard group." The
first word is always the ribbon tab
name, followed by the group name, and the last word is always the specific
command.
